Maybe a little... but the bumper is the same used on the 417, and well, the Awesomatix steers better than that still.

Thing is, it does drive on it's nose, but in a good way, as the car can keep up through the rest of the corner. It's not like it turns in super hard, then breaks away. If anything, I've had to adapt to the large amount of on power steering it has, which has been nice!
